Austin Chenoweth

Austin Chenoweth

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm Austin Chenoweth, an LMFT with over four years of experience helping teens and adults work through anxiety, depression, and the deeper patterns driving them. I trained at Santa Clara University and take a relational, depth-oriented approach to therapy, which means I'm less interested in managing symptoms and more focused on understanding what's underneath them.

I see clients via telehealth throughout California, and I work with teens and older adults. I genuinely enjoy the work of therapy, and I believe the relationship we build together is the most powerful tool we have for treatment.

I’m a therapist who understands how difficult it can be to open up—and how meaningful the right support can be. I care deeply about creating a space grounded in honesty, trust, and genuine connection. My approach is warm, compassionate, and straightforward, and I shape each session around your unique needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
